If you put the biggest pile of crates or train carts on a small or medium size cargo ship, it just won't fit, and there will be some ugly clipping (I witnessed this during testing).

And I also looked into campaign files, in OH 2 there are some convoys that have external cargo specified. But it seems that all random traffic is specified to be without cargo. So if I'm right, we should see some cargo just by editing the campaign! Will test this soon-ish!
Setting some new cargo types would be nice. Lesser bulky cargo for smaller vessels, for instance. However going by what you are saying cargo types are indexed, and any cargo category got its own number. Could you find any file where cargo categories are linked to their respective 3D models?
